In 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped out of his space capsule onto the surface of the moon and made his famous statement: “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind”. Since then, there have been space probes to Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and even to the sun. One day, a space observatory will study how the first stars and galaxies began.

If only politicians could find a way to share it with those parts of the world where there is famine.
